David Pocock's Super Rugby career is over effective immediately the world's best openside flanker declaring: "It's time to finish in Australia, this is it".
Pocock will announce his Australian domestic rugby retirement later today after it was decided to rule him out for the rest of the Super Rugby season.
The 31‑year‑old however still hopes he can recover from a torn calf in time to play for the Wallabies at the World Cup after being limited to just three games in the past seven months.
Pocock has playing commitments in Japan after the World Cup, but it is likely he will use the tournament as an international swan song and retire fully when his Panasonic Wild Knights deal ends.
